Polluted Belandur water enters homes after heavy rains

Heavy rain in Bengaluru has inundated several homes in Belandur area after water levels spiked in the already-polluted lake

BBMP officials say the flooding at Shubha Enclave Layout was due to encroachment of stormwater drain.

Two years ago, when BBMP started the encroachment removal drive following district administration's order, few owners had managed to get a stay from the court.

Now, the encroached areas in the entire layout are flooded.
